Poultry Grading and Inspection

The purpose of this bulletin is to describe grading and inspection of poultry so that consumers, producers, and marketing agencies can understand each process and its function in a sound marketing program. Producers and consumers both stand to gain from a dependable quality determination and a reliable inspection for wholesomeness. These programs make it possible for producers to receive a greater return for better quality, and for consumers to compare prices in relation to quality and make the most economical use of their food dollar. The regulations for inspection and the standards for determination of quality presented in this bulletin have been successfully applied on a large scale. Recognizing the value of a sound inspection program, Congress enacted legislation on August 28, 1957, which requires that all poultry and poultry products moving in interstate or foreign commerce be inspected for wholesomeness

Grading and Inspection of Eggs and Egg Products

Excerpt from the report Preface: The purpose of this bulletin is to present comprehensive information on one of the most important factors contributing to the improvement, identification, and maintenance of quality in the production and merchandising of eggs and egg products. In order to market eggs effectively to the greatest advantage to producers, consideration must be given to the consumer reaction on size, cleanliness of shells, and interior quality of shell eggs and the wholesomeness and functional quality of egg products. Producers do not have much incentive or adequate reward for producing and delivering clean, unbroken eggs of good interior quality unless their eggs are purchased by quality grade and weight class at proper price differentials

An effective modeling tool for studying erosion

Visual erosion examples based on that occurred in the minerals and oil and gas industries are illustrated by a paint modeling technique. The visual paint patterns were used to illustrate erosion damage "hot spots" This provided an insight into the underlining fluid dynamics process involved with erosion damages. This insight allows design changes to be made to reduce erosion, illustrated by examples in this paper. The patterns of erosion damages on paints were found to be similar to that occurred with metal materials. This was supported by a similarity in measured erosion angular erosion distribution with cylindrical samples. Error analysis suggested that spatial variations in velocity across a material surface accounted for most of the error in the paint modeling technique.Due to its low cost and rapidity, the technique is particularly suitable for developing and optimizing the design of flow geometries to reduce erosion, without the need to change the materials used
